A Design Report of the Baseline for PEP-X: an Ultra-Low Emittance Storage Ring

Over the past year, we have worked out a baseline design for PEP-X, as an ultra-low emittance storage ring that could reside in the existing 2.2-km PEPII tunnel. The design features a hybrid lattice with double bend achromat (DBA) cells in two arcs and theoretical minimum emittance (TME) cells in the remaining four arcs. Damping wigglers are used to reduce the horizontal emittance to 86 pm-rad at zero current for a 4.5 GeV electron beam. At a design current of 1.5 A, the horizontal emittance increases, due to intrabeam scattering, to 164 pm-rad when the vertical emittance is maintained at a diffraction limited 8 pm-rad. The baseline design will produce photon beams achieving a brightness of 10{sup 22} (ph/s/mm{sup 2}/mrad{sup 2}/0.1% BW) at 10 keV in a 3.5-m conventional planar undulator. Our study shows that an optimized lattice has adequate dynamic aperture, while accommodating a conventional off-axis injection system. In this report, we present the results of study, including the lattice properties, nonlinear dynamics, intra-beam scattering and Touschek lifetime, RF system, and collective instabilities. Finally, we discuss the possibility of partial lasing at soft X-ray wavelengths using a long undulator in a straight section.

Complete Beam Dynamics of the JLEIC Ion Collider Ring Including Imperfections, Corrections, and Detector Solenoid Effects

The JLEIC is proposed as a next-generation facility for the study of strong interaction (QCD). Achieving its goal luminosity of up to 1034 cm⁻²s^{−1} requires good dynamical properties and a large dynamic aperture (DA) of ~ ±10 σ of the beam size. The limit on the DA comes primarily from non-linear dynamics, element misalignments, magnet multipole components, and detector solenoid effect. This paper presents a complete simulation including all of these effects. We first describe an orbit correction scheme and determine tolerances on element misalignments. And beta beat, betatron tunes, coupling, and linear chromaticity perturbations also be corrected. We next specify the requirements on the multipole components of the interaction region magnets, which dominate the DA in the collision mode. Finally, we take special care of the detector solenoid effects. Some of the complications are an asymmetric design necessary for a full acceptance detector with a crossing angle of 50 mrad. Thus, in addition to coupling, the solenoid causes closed orbit excursion and excites dispersion. It also breaks the figure-8 spin symmetry. We present a scheme with correction of all of these effects.

Error Correction for the JLEIC Ion Collider Ring

The sensitivity to misalignment, magnet strength error, and BPM noise is investigated in order to specify design tolerances for the ion collider ring of the Jefferson Lab Electron Ion Collider (JLEIC) project. Those errors, including horizontal, vertical, longitudinal displacement, roll error in transverse plane, strength error of main magnets (dipole, quadrupole, and sextupole), BPM noise, and strength jitter of correctors, cause closed orbit distortion, tune change, beta-beat, coupling, chromaticity problem, etc. These problems generally reduce the dynamic aperture at the Interaction Point (IP). According to real commissioning experiences in other machines, closed orbit correction, tune matching, beta-beat correction, decoupling, and chromaticity correction have been done in the study. Finally, we find that the dynamic aperture at the IP is restored. This paper describes that work.

Injection Optics for the JLEIC Ion Collider Ring

The Jefferson Lab Electron-Ion Collider (JLEIC) will accelerate protons and ions from 8 GeV to 100 GeV. A very low beta function at the Interaction Point (IP) is needed to achieve the required luminosity. One consequence of the low beta optics is that the beta function in the final focusing (FF) quadrupoles is extremely high. This leads to a large beam size in these magnets as well as strong sensitivity to errors which limits the dynamic aperture. These effects are stronger at injection energy where the beam size is maximum, and therefore very large aperture FF magnets are required to allow a large dynamic aperture. A standard solution is a relaxed injection optics with IP beta function large enough to provide a reasonable FF aperture. This also reduces the effects of FF errors resulting in a larger dynamic aperture at injection. We describe the ion ring injection optics design as well as a beta-squeeze transition from the injection to collision optics.

Initial Estimates of Dynamic Aperture and Field Quality Specifications

In this document the results of the studies performed to determine the initial estimate of the field quality of the inner triplet quadrupoles of the HL-LHC are presented and discussed. These estimates are based on the computation of the dynamic aperture and its dependence on the field quality of the inner triplet quadrupoles. The outcome in terms of error table will be given as well. The preliminary results concerning the impact on the dynamic aperture of the expected field quality of the separation dipoles and the matching section quadrupoles will be discussed, too. Copyright
